Create a sysfs 'throttle' attribute per-chip(per-numa-node) to reflect
the throttle state of the chip. The usersapce programs can poll on
this attribute to keep an eye on the throttle state. Currently we
print a log message to notify the user of throttling event. The
performance-sensitive applications can monitor the throttle state
using this attribute.
Following file is created in sysfs:
/sys/devices/system/node/nodeN/throttle
'throttle' attribute has the following values:
0 : frequency is unthrottled
1 : frequency is throttled
